Norman Bates
Norman Bates is a fictional character created by American author Robert Bloch as the main antagonist in his 1959 thriller novel '' Psycho''. He has an alter, Mother, who takes from the form of his abusive mother, and later victim, Norma, who in his daily life runs the Bates Motel. He was portrayed by Anthony Perkins in the 1960 version of ''Psycho'' directed by Alfred Hitchcock and in the ''Psycho'' franchise. He was also portrayed by Vince Vaughn in the 1998 version of ''Psycho'', and by Freddie Highmore in the television series '' Bates Motel'' (2013–2017).
